This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Because Biden just straight up told Ukraine to lie back and think of Mother Russia.

Biden can not afford to lose two wars.

Come on, man.

Come on, man! Corn Pop was a bad dude…

https://www.wsj.com/articles/wsj-poll-biden-leadership-economy-midterms-11638888384

Interesting poll on Biden. Overall approval level is weak (41%/57%), but especially bad when it comes to those with strong opinions (19%/46%), and undecided voters (29%/63%). When asked to choose a political party, the results were highly partisan (41% blue/44% red, but a massive 32%/34% are "definitely"). Strong sense that the country's off track (27%/63%). Voters favor red when it comes to the economy and immigration, but blue when it comes to the pandemic, education, and healthcare. Neither party is particularly popular, including their presumptive leaders (Biden/Trump).

I'm calling 2024: Giant meteor for the win!

Sure those numbers will be more favorable when 2022’s checks are distributed. No worries, we’ll only be at 25% inflation.

Yes, it's Daily Mail.

So yesterday was the Biden regime's no good, horrible, very bad day.

The Biden press conference would have been a hilarious farce, had it not been due to the fact that certain people think this artichoke is in charge of anything. Seriously, go find it on Youtube (assuming the media organs haven't scrubbed it) and watch.

Then the Democrats got their noses slapped hard in the Senate. No change to the filibuster. Sinema and Manchin voted no. There will be no VRA. It is dead.

And this bodes very ill for the Dems going into midterms. Without the ability to 'manage' elections at the federal level (snort), they will probably face losses. How bad? Hard to say, but I have heard 28 Dem members of the House are not seeking reelection. They're punching out. I think they see what's coming and it's not gonna be pretty.

If they won on the filibuster, it would be even worse. Forcing though rules that benefit the majority is not the best move when you're just about to lose your majority.

It is similar to the 2018 midterms with record R retirement...as long as you don't control both houses and the Pres, you can BS people into believing you can't get stuff done.  Once you are in control, the voters start asking why you aren't passing what you said you were going to. (ex: Republicans and ACA)

Right now the establishment is drooling at the prospect of brushing a bunch of the domestic bad news under the media rug if they can just get Ukraine lit off soon enough.

I'm waiting for a commentary. I don't think I can stomach Biden making more of a fool of himself without something to go with it.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Jesus Christ. https://fbnglobalnews.com/news/russia-wants-nato-forces-out-of-ex-soviet-states-lavrov-says/

Russia is demanding the removal of all NATO forces from the former Eastern Bloc nations. Yes, including Romania and Bulgaria. Essentially, a return to 1997 -- and a ceding of those countries to Putin.

I can't say I'm shocked. You've got Blinken the retard as SecState and it's clear he's out of his depth (he wanted the Taliban to form a diverse government. Really), and Sleepy Joe babbling on for two hours the other day and essentially giving Russia the green light. But still: holy shit.

So was it worth it, Nevertrumpers? Was this worth restoring your precious norms and getting rid of mean tweets?

Good news article, my friend!

America has no business getting involved in Ukraine.

America formerly made promises to Russia that we would not expand NATO into the formerly Warsaw-Pact nations of Eastern Europe.

Vladimir Putin, just like Pepperidge Farms, remembers.

Our economy is shit. Our military is very weakened from being pumped full of SJW's.

In a fight, Russia won't be sending "Amy with two mommies that marched at a gay pride event in high school"

The Russians will be sending Ivan, from their Army Recruitment commercial.

Beyond that, Russia isn't Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, or Syria, or some other weak nation. They have all the toys! And, Russia has been training hard-core. Anyone that wants to provoke Russia into a war is fucking insane. Respect the treaties, respect their country, respect THEIR national security interests.

Peace can be maintained, but it requires America to acknowledge Russia as a partner, as an equal, and stop playing BS games and vilifying Russia like a bunch of third-graders.

Semper Fidelis,

I agree, but here's the problem I have.

This is becoming a regular pattern. We make commitments -- stupid ones, I agree -- and then we unilaterally weasel out of them.

In other words, Chinese diplomacy. Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised given how much influence the CCP seems to have these days.

I admit it's darkly hilarious to contemplate our current regime throwing troops at Ivan. Russia may not have been tested in any kind of major conflict, but I'm pretty fucking sure they're not recruiting based on 'muh diversity'. And I'll wager they're not purging their ranks of actual patriots like our current commanders seem hell bent on doing.

Part of me wants something to kick off. Nukes? Don't be ridiculous. The Russians won't need nukes. They'll wipe out the 41st Caring And Diversity Battalion without so much as screwing up the paint on their vehicles. And the regime will cry and talk about how TERRIBLE it is.

Surely if we just let Putin invade the Ukraine, then he'll be appeased, and then peace will be maintained and he won't try anything more. That's how history works, right?

After all, our past leaders like JFK and Reagan have emphasized the importance of respecting Russia and treating them as a partner, rather than provoking them.

Seriously -

Pushing around weak countries like Syria and then kowtowing to China and/or Russia because they're strong is bullying and foolish. It promotes constant war and posturing. I've been opposed to most of our Middle East and other interventions, but I supported the Korean War and the Kuwait War because we cannot let "might makes right" be the rule of the world. Outright military invasion needs to be opposed by all countries of the world, and we should respect countries regardless of whether they are strong or weak. Who is our partner should be based on moral principles, not how strong they are.
